How to Make a FIMO Daffodil
Join us and @Staedtleruk in supporting @MarieCurieUK's #DayofReflection on the 23rd March to mark the one year anniversary since the UK first went into a nationwide lockdown, and reflect on those lost during the pandemic.
Learn how to create your very own sculpted daffodil from @Staedtleruk's FIMO soft modelling clay. To show your support, and as a symbol of hope, place the daffodil in your window.
For every pack of FIMO sold within the Day of Reflection bundle, a 25p donation by STAEDTLER will be made to the Marie Curie UK Charity.

Gently lift the petals with a cutter blade or modelling tool then press them together into a flower shape.
![how_to_make_a_fimo_daffodil_step-5l.jpg?sw=680&q=85](https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/dw/image/v2/BHCG_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-hobbycraft-uk-content/default/dwb5bbab3b/images/ideas/decor-hobbies/how-to-make-a-fimo-daffodil/how_to_make_a_fimo_daffodil_step-5l.jpg?sw=680&q=85)
Cut a hole in a cupcake case by folding it in half then cutting out the middle.
![how_to_make_a_fimo_daffodil_step-6l.jpg?sw=680&q=85](https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/dw/image/v2/BHCG_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-hobbycraft-uk-content/default/dw9e82898e/images/ideas/decor-hobbies/how-to-make-a-fimo-daffodil/how_to_make_a_fimo_daffodil_step-6l.jpg?sw=680&q=85)

Add a pinch of Indian Red FIMO with some leftover Sunflower. Knead until the colours are evenly blended then roll a 2cm ball.
![how_to_make_a_fimo_daffodil_step-8l.jpg?sw=680&q=85](https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/dw/image/v2/BHCG_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-hobbycraft-uk-content/default/dw117e0024/images/ideas/decor-hobbies/how-to-make-a-fimo-daffodil/how_to_make_a_fimo_daffodil_step-8l.jpg?sw=680&q=85)
Use a pointed tool to make a hole in the FIMO ball. Widen the hole with a ball tool then press the edges into a trumpet shape.
Make a lined pattern and a scalloped edge.
![how_to_make_a_fimo_daffodil_step-9l.jpg?sw=680&q=85](https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/dw/image/v2/BHCG_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-hobbycraft-uk-content/default/dwa1b5f99a/images/ideas/decor-hobbies/how-to-make-a-fimo-daffodil/how_to_make_a_fimo_daffodil_step-9l.jpg?sw=680&q=85)
Press the orange trumpet in the middle of the daffodil using a ball tool. Curl the edges of the petals with your fingers.

Shape two strips of Tropical Green FIMO into a ball, then roll it out on your work surface into a long snake (about 25cm in length), making one end slightly thicker.
![how_to_make_a_fimo_daffodil_step-11l.jpg?sw=680&q=85](https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/dw/image/v2/BHCG_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-hobbycraft-uk-content/default/dw2516fbd1/images/ideas/decor-hobbies/how-to-make-a-fimo-daffodil/how_to_make_a_fimo_daffodil_step-11l.jpg?sw=680&q=85)
Place the stem onto a baking tray covered in baking parchment. Press the thicker end of the stem onto the back of the daffodil through the hole in the cupcake case.
![how_to_make_a_fimo_daffodil_step-12l.jpg?sw=680&q=85](https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/dw/image/v2/BHCG_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-hobbycraft-uk-content/default/dw60897023/images/ideas/decor-hobbies/how-to-make-a-fimo-daffodil/how_to_make_a_fimo_daffodil_step-12l.jpg?sw=680&q=85)
Press three small FIMO pieces in the middle of the flower.
![how_to_make_a_fimo_daffodil_step-13l.jpg?sw=680&q=85](https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/dw/image/v2/BHCG_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-hobbycraft-uk-content/default/dwd7f2fb9d/images/ideas/decor-hobbies/how-to-make-a-fimo-daffodil/how_to_make_a_fimo_daffodil_step-13l.jpg?sw=680&q=85)
To make a leaf, thinly roll two Tropical Green FIMO strips into a long piece to a depth of 1.5mm-2mm then cut a 25cm strip with a pointed end.
![how_to_make_a_fimo_daffodil_step-14l.jpg?sw=680&q=85](https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/dw/image/v2/BHCG_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-hobbycraft-uk-content/default/dw737ac251/images/ideas/decor-hobbies/how-to-make-a-fimo-daffodil/how_to_make_a_fimo_daffodil_step-14l.jpg?sw=680&q=85)
Wrap the thicker end of the leaf around the lower part of the stem with the pointed end curled out at the top.
![how_to_make_a_fimo_daffodil_step-15l.jpg?sw=680&q=85](https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/dw/image/v2/BHCG_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-hobbycraft-uk-content/default/dw2a6193ba/images/ideas/decor-hobbies/how-to-make-a-fimo-daffodil/how_to_make_a_fimo_daffodil_step-15l.jpg?sw=680&q=85)
Adjust the position of petals and leaf. Check then stem is straight before baking.
Top Tip: Place a small piece of twisted baking parchment under the daffodil to keep it upright.
![how_to_make_a_fimo_daffodil_step-16l.jpg?sw=680&q=85](https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/dw/image/v2/BHCG_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-hobbycraft-uk-content/default/dwc4c5e9b0/images/ideas/decor-hobbies/how-to-make-a-fimo-daffodil/how_to_make_a_fimo_daffodil_step-16l.jpg?sw=680&q=85)
Bake FIMO at 110°C for 30 mins and allow the FIMO to fully cool before handling.
Top tip: Support the flower stems with gravel or pebbles in a vase to keep them upright and avoid direct sunlight over a prolonged period of time.
